“Always have great finds for all your Latin American products. Love grabbing all my favorite sweets and the Butcher is clean and has great meat selection! Never had a bad experience”
“I always purchased from Genes Mkt. One day I asked the butcher where they got them from...the rest is history. When you see and enter the shop it's like out of a scene from The Soprano's. They have the glass cases, the refrigerator storeroom in the back, and the processing area to the left. Very minimal, old school. The best. I always place my order ahead of time and they have it ready. Hot or mild, in the casing or bulk. Family run and owned. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You will be kicking yourself in the butt for not knowing about them sooner. Oh, by the way, the sausages are delicious !!”

“Great supermarket with everything I need! The store is clean, well-organized, and the shelves are always fully stocked. I love how fresh the produce is, and the prices are really reasonable too. The staff are friendly and quick to help whenever I can’t find something. Overall, a super convenient place to shop—definitely my go-to supermarket now.”

“The ambiance is simple. The food is great and there is a variety of selection of meats. Also, friendly & simple service. Food was good, although i didn't get too eat inside because i was waiting, the food was still good. Will be going back soon & if i have further notes i shall add onto this. Good too know there is a shop like this near the area i am at.”
“Always best place to grab groceries when in a hurry. Slightly disappointed when I asked a question regarding the usage of my EBT card and what I received where mug faces from both cashier's. But still it's a great store.”
“This is my Friday goat biryani place to go to. Great people with great service. I wish they make the lamb chops again. Last time I came the guy told me they don't make it anymore”
“The tamales are fresh and excellent, so some fresh school and pico de gallo and guacamole and plenty of fresh corn chips available. Of course lots of fresh homemade tortillas.”
“They opened again after a year of hiatus. Convenient place to get fresh and high quality chicken/duck in bay area. The staff was super friendly and willing to get me small stuff (onion/lemon) that is not for sale there. Highly recommend!”
“I went in for some tamales and rice/beans. The lady at the counter was very helpful and polite. Chicken tamale was ok, more masa then chicken (for me that's fine) Rice/beans was good.”
“The goat biryani is excellent. I drive all the way from Los Altos to pick it up. Have earned lots of brownie points for giving it to friends who don't want to drive 50 miles round-trip to pick it up.”
“Family owned business. Pricey but what isnt now in days. Carnitas on a Saturday morning are the best. Dried beef jerky, also thr best. Get it by the pound. Produce is OK.”
“I didn't find what I was looking for but I went to another store...but the store is good, only the parking lot is very full because of the other businesses...”
“The best pakistani food in town, owner shaffi is very nice and very kind with his customers, they did not refuse giving us biryani even when we arrived late to his shop”

“Best place to get your tacos and burritos. La Plaza Market is one of the best places to get your burritos. Their burritos have a very savory flavor, you can taste all the ingredients all in one. They have a variety of sizes, their meat is fresh and always delicious. They give you a good portions of food with great flavors. Their customer service is great, very nice people with a good attitude. Overall, one of the best spots for great Mexican food.”
“This place is not as bad as other "Yelpers" are making it to be, however this place can use a slight face-lift. It's not necessarily a place to do your full blown shopping. Items that are "popular" to the so called American customers and not so much to the Brown Indigenous (Native American/Mexican,etc) yes those items will obviously be outdated. I mainly go there for the queso fresco Mexicano and purple corn tortilla and at times I get other items that are likely to be in high demand GET IT. For example I won't go to an "Asian" market to look for tortilla or Tapatio hot sauce WHY because I know at that particular store it's not in HIGH DEMAND!!!!”
“The place is very good, cheap, clean and fresh products but for you to get meat sometimes it takes a while. It would be nice if they put a waiting room or something like that.”
“A place where you can find everything, both for the home and for lovers of cooking, as well as for those who want ready-made food. In that place, they offer you ready-made food dishes. You will also find jewelry, a place where you can find everything. what are you looking for...
A very good place to find a little bit of everything, both for those who like to cook and for those who don't, because they also offer ready-made food and there are also places where you can find bakery jewelry and many fresh products .”
“Good mercado with ample selection of fruits and vegetables. The standout is the butcher which has various cuts of meat that you can't find at Safeway, like diezmillo and arrachera”
